I expect I'll sound like a total idiot here. Well, basically regarding hunting, I am. But, my boys (12, 9 & 7) want to take their slingshots and go hunt turkeys. We saw a bunch when we were staying at William Heise County Park by Julian in September. You could get within 20 feet of them, they didn't care. But, they were all on private property or in the park where the ranger said you can't shoot them even during turkey season. So, the boys wanted to go back in turkey season. Now we're in turkey season. But, as I read about hunting turkeys, it sounds too dangerous to take 3 boys and none of us have a clue. So, some questions, if anyone will be so kind as to answer:
1. Is it legal to hunt with a slingshot?
2. Is there any chance in h*** that we'd actually kill a turkey if we were 20' away with a slingshot? I think the answer is yes, IF you can hit them.
3. Is there anywhere we can hunt around Julian where there are NO hunters with guns? I'd be willing to pay to hunt on private land so we'd be safe.
4. Any other ideas? I know how naive I sound. But, the boys want to get out and use their slingshots and "hunt". If we hit nothing, no problem but it will be worth the experience.
